ribosome
/ ˈ°ù²¹Éª²úəˌ²õəʊ³¾ /
noun
- any of numerous minute particles in the cytoplasm of cells, either free or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, that contain RNA and protein and are the site of protein synthesis
ribosome
/ °ùī′²úÉ™-²õų¾â€² /
- A sphere-shaped structure within the cytoplasm of a cell that is composed of RNA and protein and is the site of protein synthesis.
